The penultimate episode of the second season of House of the Dragon has reached us and has caused great excitement among fans. Episode 7 currently has a rating of 9.1 out of 10 on IMDb, making it the second best-rated episode of the entire season behind episode 4. On Metacritic, the episode entitled The Red Seed even lands a rating of 8.3/10. in the top position of the season so far.
Fantasy fans then took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the new House of the Dragon episode. New dragon riders, aesthetic shots and Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) army of bastards were particularly popular.
House of the Dragon fans celebrate episode 7 of season 2
One fan on X explained that several exciting points came together in the new episode:
No Kriston Kraut for an entire episode. Hugh and Ulf are now dragon riders for the good guys. Daemon talked to humans. There’s a new Lord Tully. Ended with the following scene. A quality episode.

Another fan will also remember the image of Rhaenyra and her dragons for a long time:
I go to bed with this image in the back of my mind. The power that symbolizes. The dragons roar with one voice. Our queen wears the colors of her house. Oh, we are so back, baby. *until things go completely downhill again because welcome to Westeros, folks*

Other fans especially celebrated the storyline about the army of bastards, which is supposed to help Rhaenyra find new dragon riders for Vermithor. One X-user wrote: “‘So, let’s have a Army of Bastards created’ – Rhaenyra”

However, for a fantasy fan on X, the storyline surrounding Vermithor shows precisely the character development of Rhaenyra:
I am encouraged by the fact that House of the Dragon something more complex and human with Rhaenyra does. The Vermithor sequence. What a great episode that was.
